Why do Americans hate eachother so much?
How can we be patriotic and build this country when we make fun and hate on our own? We are truly becoming a parody of ourselves.
Has anyone wondered why we are always pitted against eachother? Always fighting over frivolous things
We are no better than the “third world countries” we act we are better than.
Because it keeps us distracted while we’re being lied to and robbed blind by the elites.
I wouldn’t call them frivolous - they want censorship, we stand for freedom
who’s “they”?
Dems in US, Lib’s in Canada. Current governments in the UK, Germany etc.
You are proving my point. I am someone who would be generalized as a dem, but believe in free speech. There’s a lot of nuances than just right or left. The internet has ruined our perception of people, and has programmed us into generalizing everyone into right or left. When you go outside, and actually talk to people outside of your bubble, you quickly realize that we are more alike than different. Hating eachother is a distraction.
There’s people who are extremists on both side, the extremists are the ones who go viral and are platered on our internet, who have created a division and rage baited their way into making us hate eachother.
I agree, generalizing but just to illustrate- I do feel that the gap is larger than ever before, and yes, the phones and social media algorithms push us further into our bubbles
Agree with your sentiment, yet I also think the fact that people have been free to argue about how this place works is part of the ironic beauty of how it stays functional. It feels chaotic at times… but it’s embedded in the culture to constantly disagree about how things should run. It requires strong consensus and a lot of discourse to make change. It’s designed that way… to prevent unilateral or arbitrary change.
So like, the fact that there exists this cultural/legal outlet here probably amplifies the discourse. But also it’s still where the most innovation seems to happen despite all that headache.
The beautiful part, to me, is that more people here feel entitled to make change (or at least an argument for it) than any other place. Which comes with tradeoffs.
I love how you put it, and think you are right, but I do think that there has been a wave of frivolous social discourse in the past 5 years that has created brain rot instead of innovation. We used to build things, now we are too obsessed with what other people do to build anything
But when you put down the phone and go outside all I see is people of different cultures and religions interacting and transacting together peacefully.
